To celebrate the release of their debut album, Black Mountain has a few shows scheduled for the West Coast. Two of these performances will be happening in Canada, while the other two will happen a bit further south. The quartet's first show following the release of their LP will be on January 27th in Vancouver, with a Victoria show happening the day after.

Citing old school influences like Black Sabbath, The Velvet Underground, Led Zeppelin, and Can, Black Mountain create good ol' fashioned rock'n'roll with a dark edge.

A West Coast collective comparable to Ontario's Broken Social Scene, the Black Mountain Army is an umbrella for many Vancouver artists. The members of the band Black Mountain are also former and current members of other acts like The Pink Mountaintops and Jerk With A Bomb, among others.
